Exploring, Dining & Shopping in Brown County

Artists Colony Inn & Restaurant

Day One

You’ll want to make sure you are fueled up for a day of exploring and shopping. Stop by the Daily Grind for a cup of coffee and quick breakfast to help energize!

Hop on the Nashville Express to tour the village and learn its history. Afterwards, stroll around the village and take in the numerous shops, studios, public art pieces, and galleries. If you’re lucky, you might see glass being blown or a statue being carved by chainsaw!

Have you worked up an appetite? Head to Big Woods Pizza and sit on the patio while enjoying one of their microbrews, or visit the Farmhouse Café to dine on fresh salads inside a restored farmhouse.

Day Two

Enjoy a hearty, home-made breakfast at Muddy Boots Café where you are surrounded by local artwork. Don’t forget to grab a lavender lemonade to go!

Visit the Brown County State Park for a picnic at one of the many scenic vistas. Didn’t bring a lunch? The Little Gem Restaurant is located within the State Park and features many “Hoosier Classics.” After lunch take a hike or mountain bike through the woods on one of the various trails.
